This Maven aka "Dr. QuickBooks & Quicken" is a Advanced Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor for desktop and online and Certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019). He has additional certifications in Intuit's Point of Sale (POS) and Enterprise software (for middle market companies) products.

He has 52 five-star and one 4.9 reviews on the Intuit Find a ProAdvisor website, 17 on Yelp (rhymes with whelp), 14 on LinkedIn, five each on Angie’s List, Facebook business page, and the Better Business Bureau, and three on Thumbtack, Google, and Nextdoor about how he was able to solve his clients problems in both the PC and Mac versions of the software. He has worked with 1401 clients since 2007.

He works with start ups, existing businesses running into software, inventory, network, or payroll problems, and personal users of Intuit financial management products such as Quicken in the Greater Seattle area.

Rather than expect the client to fight traffic to get to him and lose billable time, he goes to them in his "gas-guzzling" Prius with the license plate of DRQKBKS.

He then either sets up a new company and personal data file, reviews what they have already done (doing it yourself doesn't mean you did it right, he quips), and/or trains small business owners and personal users of Quicken how to use their accounting and bookkeeping software one-on-one using their data and questions to create a customized lesson plan or class.

He was nominated in 2009 for the City of Seattle Mayor's Small Business Award and Better Business Bureau Torch Award. He is a member of Intuit's Inner Circle Program for Accountants, Quicken, and TurboTax.

He has lectured at the Renton Community College Small Business and Six Hour Conferences and was recently asked by Bellevue College if he was interested in teaching basic and advanced courses in Quick Books.
